Customer Reviews

Great

Real big on teaching myself to keep my mind idled but looks like me and Mrs. Google and a few workbooks got a job on our hands

Great Book got A's

I would purchase from this seller again and recommend. The item was delivered promptly and in the condition promised.

workbook gets a gold star

From the point of view of practice work, it's a great resource. I like the exercises and find it reinforces my understanding. After all, theory is one thing, but being able to practice and confirm the math matches the theory, that's what I really needed.

Great Intro to Accounting

Since I did not major in accounting in undergrad I purchased this book to help me get a general understanding of how the process works. I found the chapters on the Income Statement and Balance Sheet most useful. The author walks you through the process explaining the difference between all the different categories. I also purchased Accounting For Dummies (Accounting for Dummies), but I found this workbook to be sufficient for what I needed. Highly Recommended!

VERY PLEASED

I just want to say thank you for the work book. I was surprised at how fast I received this item. If I can remember right I received this item with in 5 days. It is very helpful and informitive. I took Accounting in college and had forgotten alot of things but this book has helped me to remember the things that I had forgotten.
